oh dear
how dare we expect our teachers to fluently speak the language they are asked to teach in. Why would you even want a teacher teaching your children english when they themselves can't properly speak it?

BOOM goes the dynamite!
i don't have a problem with this. i went to arizona state and had a math teacher that had a really thick russian accent that i couldn't understand. i had to drop the class because i had no idea what the teacher was saying. and i'm usually pretty good at being able to understand people with accents.

So making it mandatory that people teaching English to ESL students actually speak English properly is racist? I would never have guessed this, thanks for the tip. What is next? Math teachers having to be able to do addition and subtraction? The horror, the horror.

not to mention it's not like they are saying oh well you can't speak english good enough, you're fired. The teachers have the opportunity to take training to improve and if that still doesn't work it just means they have to be moved to a classroom where the students aren't in the learning phase of the english language.
I mean the last thing we would want is our children to sound educated or at least given the chance to learn the proper way to speak the language of the land
If you take a college level language class your expectation would be that the person teaching you would at least be fluent in the language, can't the same expectation be held for children learning the language they are going to need to know for the rest of their life to get ahead in the american society?
